I first think it needs to start happening in the grade 4 level. High school is a little late, so start a lot earlier and engage with these young girls to really help them gain the confidence that they will need in order to take part in shop class. Even if we have the shops, girls aren't particularly encouraged. We need to get the parents involved, the girls involved, starting at about age 10.
